Verb Tenses in the Text:

In the given text, we need to put the verbs in brackets into the present perfect or the past simple tense. Let's go through each sentence and determine the appropriate tense for each verb.

1. "I love winter sports. I have been ice-skating many times." - The verb "love" is in the present simple tense, which is correct. - The verb "have been" is in the present perfect tense, which is correct.

2. "When I was younger, I ...(go) to an ice-ring with my school." - The verb "was" is in the past simple tense, which is correct. - The verb "go" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - Therefore, the correct form is "I went to an ice-ring with my school."

3. "I ...(fall) over a lot, and I ...(can/not) skate very well, but I really ...(enjoy) it." - The verb "fall" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "can/not" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "enjoy" is in the present simple tense, which is correct. - Therefore, the correct forms are "I fell over a lot, and I couldn't skate very well, but I really enjoy it."

4. "Then last year, I ...(visit) Austria and ... skate at an outdoor rink there." - The verb "visit" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "skate" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - Therefore, the correct forms are "Then last year, I visited Austria and skated at an outdoor rink there."

5. "I ...(also/play) ice hockey." - The verb "also/play" is in the present simple tense, which is correct.

6. "I ...(never/ski) though." - The verb "never/ski" should be in the present perfect tense to indicate a past action with a present result. - Therefore, the correct form is "I have never skied though."

7. "I ...(go) on holiday to Switzerland last month to go skiing, but on the first day, I ...(slip) on some ice and ...(break) my ankle, so I ...(can/not) ski at all." - The verb "go" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "slip" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "break" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - The verb "can/not" should be in the past simple tense to maintain consistency with the previous verb tense. - Therefore, the correct forms are "I went on holiday to Switzerland last month to go skiing, but on the first day, I slipped on some ice and broke my ankle, so I couldn't ski at all."

Revised Text:

"I love winter sports. I have been ice-skating many times. When I was younger, I went to an ice-ring with my school. I fell over a lot, and I couldn't skate very well, but I really enjoy it. Then last year, I visited Austria and skated at an outdoor rink there. I also play ice hockey. I have never skied though. I went on holiday to Switzerland last month to go skiing, but on the first day, I slipped on some ice and broke my ankle, so I couldn't ski at all."
